When your cruise on board the Disney Wish includes a themed pirate night, your dining room location will be the same location you had dinner the previous night. For some on the cruise, that was Worlds of Marvel. Others, it is 1923. For us, it means we’re trekking back to Arendelle!
Pirate Night dinner is a themed dinner, with it’s own menu. It’s treated as it’s own event, so there will not be a Frozen themed dinner show, unlike last night. The servers are dressed in pirate outfits, and guests are also encouraged to dress up in pirate themed outfits for dinner. Unlike other nights, dinner on Pirate Night is the same menu regardless of which dining room you’re seated at.
Apparently after the first night I gave up taking pictures of the bread service. Heck, I don’t even know what a Johnny Cake is, but that’s the bread service on pirate night.
So let’s dive in!
We’re getting Pirate Night started with a tasty crab cake appetizer. Nothing says pirates or Caribbean like a good old fashioned New England crab cake!
*checks notes*
I’m sorry, deep fried Calypso Crab Cake! Served with a Cajun Remoulade, green onion, and lemon. I don’t know why there’s an onion on my plate, and I guess the lemon gets squeezed on the crab cake, and remoulade is a fancy word for sauce. But the crab cake was nice!
Soup!
Like the previous night, I couldn’t pass up a carrot soup. Carrot and Cilantro soup with, get this, banana bread croutons. I didn’t even know you could make banana bread croutons. Also like the previous night, this carrot soup was that perfect mixture of delicious and unusual. One of those flavors where you’re not sure why you like it, but you really want to continue eating it.
Steak! Again.
Hey, I paid an arm and a peg leg for this cruise, I’m getting my money’s worth! So that’s why I again ordered steak. Tucked down at the bottom of the main courses was King George’s Roasted Privateer Strip Loin with Thyme Roasted Potatoes, Buttered Savoy Cabbage, Yorkshire Pudding with a Rosemary Wine Sauce.
While not as good as the steak from the night before, this strip loin was still pretty darn tasty. The roasted potatoes were nice. The cabbage was a little weird, but okay. Yorkshire Pudding is something I’m not used to, but I knew it was bready. Would still order it again. Maybe.
I’m bananas for bananas!
Did I mention I love banana bread? Tonight’s first dessert is Bananas in Paradise. Layered Banana Bread with Hazelnut Fudge filling served with a Banana Spice Purée. It tastes just as yummy as it looks! My only issue was there wasn’t more of it.
No scurvy here!
We’re having Bounty Fruit Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream to ward off scurvy on Pirate Night. While I’ve never had a cobbler with this kind of topping, I wasn’t against it. This didn’t look exactly like any fruit cobbler I’ve had, but this was nice and I enjoyed it very much. It’s just light enough where you don’t feel guilty for eating it.
Pirate Night in your stateroom.
Along with themed ambient music on the ship on Pirate Night, turn down service in your stateroom also includes a few pirate gold coins. I mean, they’re chocolate coins, but it’s a cute themed touch for the day. On the flip side of the coin reads “Dead Men Tell No Tales”.
Pirate Night fireworks!
Towards the end of the night, up on deck 11 (the main pool deck), is the Pirate Night party with music, dancing, and favorite Disney characters in pirate costumes. The night ends with fireworks at sea. Disney Cruise Line requests, for safety, to not view the fireworks from your stateroom balcony. Really, though, the best views of fireworks are outside on Decks 11-13.
Join us next time where we have dinner at 1923, one of the themed dining rooms where you don’t have to dress up in your 1920s best, but it’s unofficially become a thing.
